A December to Remember | Jenny Bayliss
post image
Pickpick

I wanted to decorate for Christmas today, but an “end of semester, immune system goes on vacation” cold laid me out instead. 🥲 At least I had this waiting for me on my Kindle! Jenny Bayliss is an auto-read author for me - I just have to read her holiday novels one year behind so I can get them through the library! 😂

TheBookHippie Hope you feel better soon!! 4d

It‘s been a wonderful solstice. A long walk along the river in the snowy woods and reading the tagged book by the light of the Christmas tree. It‘s a book we will come back to. Thanks @TheBookHippie for the great lists of recommendations!

Happy Solstice! Blessed Yule! This day reminds me to take a deep breath, enjoy the light and feel some hope in the chaos around me. I love slipping away from the commercial world to have moments of focus back on nature. I will have wassail and a fire tonight , my family tradition for 9 years- and Brynne is home to make the wassail!!! 🕯️🤍🕯️I hope all of you experience some calm too💙(tagging some who celebrate but wishing for everyone)

AmyG Happy Solstice! Glad your girl is home. ❤️ 4d

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I saw that. I got Once Upon An Autumn when I got the ebook version. Autumn and Winter are my favourite seasons, so I thought I would start there. I‘ll have to get the paperback of Autumn (along with Spring and Summer) when I get a job. The ebooks aren‘t bad at $4.99 each for the wonderful writing I have experienced so far. 1w
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I‘ve only read the first two stories so far, but they are just far and away better than the last book, and I‘m seeing the allegory in the first story. I did not see that ending coming, that‘s for sure. 1w
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I love this book, however I‘m in the minority 🫠🤣🫣 so welcome to that 🤣🤍❄️🤍 I think there‘s a good mix in this book. 1w
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie people don‘t like this book? Seriously? Wow 1w

I‘m sorry. I just can‘t bring myself to read another sentence. A lot was promised, none of it was delivered.

GingerAntics Of the 12 stories, only 6 can be readily found independent of the book in any form. Of those 6, three are either misnamed or given the wrong location, and a fourth is heavily changed, to the point of being a different story. The final story is part of Epiphany celebrations in Italy and nothing new to Catholic school pupils who had creative religion teachers. 2w
GingerAntics The “solstice” songs at the end are Christmas carols she changed some of the words to. The activities are slightly augmented Christmas traditions from around the world. She has sources, but even those don‘t come up for half the stories, so she‘s either changed them beyond recognition or combined multiple stories. 2w
